Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth danger in the night
"If you're just worried about the dangers at night, then I guess that's not a problem."
As he spoke, Cheng Lin dispersed the aura from his body appropriately. The power of the seventh-level realm was invisible, but it existed, making the members of the exploration team pale.
As a result, many team members, including Shen Lan, also realized the meaning of Cheng Lin's words - with him accompanying him, there was no need to fear the dangers in the dark night.
Lu En, Shirley and others looked at each other, pursed their lips, and said:
"That's fine... but after all, we have been walking for a long time and need some time to rest..."
Cheng Lin restrained his breath, raised his right hand slightly, and said with a gentle smile:
"That's natural. You can rest a little longer and don't have to worry about the rush. I can provide some extra help."
Extra help?
The members of the pioneering team were very confused, but due to Cheng Lin's mystery, they did not ask or take it too seriously. After all, there were many of them and there was not even a path in the forest. They really couldn't think of how to improve.
speed.
Cheng Lin didn't say much. He just found an open space nearby and sat down happily. Then he closed his eyes and pretended to be practicing. Secretly, he separated a ray of mental power and entered the spirit world to communicate with Nuwa——
He was going to build a car.
This is not difficult for the "fertile soil" factory, and there are already many cars that can be used. However, considering the issues of battery life and the number of people, he feels that it is more convenient to build a special one.
"Well, I don't know if one dinner is enough time."
After communicating with Nuwa and promising a new bag in exchange, Cheng Lin received the reply "under production". He withdrew his mind and pretended to close his eyes. In fact, he spread his mental tentacles toward the gradually dimming room.
The wilderness spreads.
The pioneering team does seem quite experienced, at least when it comes to camping.
In Cheng Lin's observation, the strongest combat power of this team should be the warrior named "Run". His spiritual brilliance seems to be at the fourth or fifth level. The specific details cannot be seen, so he should be a physical monk.
What is more interesting is the three "magic patterns" imprinted on his armor - that is clearly a way of using field graphics, and it seems that it can be used to release some abilities that it does not have.
That woman with quite a leadership attitude is a standard elemental monk.
The slightly flamboyant young man who always holds a copper pipe in his arms prefers elements. The copper pipe may be some kind of psychic weapon.
As for the dog with two heads at his feet...well...when the two minds have different opinions, the body will probably be in a difficult position...poor dog...
While Cheng Lin was thinking wildly, the sky turned completely dark.
Darkness came relatively late in midsummer. He estimated that it would be around 20 o'clock by now. There was still warmth in the air and it wasn't very cold.
The team members collected dry firewood, lit a bonfire, fetched water from a nearby stream, and boiled it in the iron pot that came with them. Soon, a team member took out something like pickled bacon from his pocket and cut it with a knife.
Shape it into pieces and roll it into the pot, while the others take out the bread. Obviously this is dinner.
"Do you want to come with us?" Suddenly, Shirley with silver-gray hair came over hesitantly.
Cheng Lin opened his eyes, raised his right hand, shook it, and made a gesture of rejection. Well, this gesture is obviously still universal.
Just when Shirley nodded and was about to stop disturbing him, she suddenly saw the smile on this mysterious man's face slowly disappear, and his eyes narrowed, flashing a dangerous light.
Shirley's breath tightened, and she soon discovered that the other party's target was not her and the team members behind her, but was looking at the wasteland outside the range illuminated by the fire.
"It's okay, some little things are coming." Cheng Lin said with a smile.
"Little thing? You mean..." Shirley clenched her fists.
"Similar to...a monkey? However, the mouth is longer, the shoulder blades are raised on the back, and there are spikes...Well, if you understand the meaning of monkey." Cheng Lin tried to describe the picture he saw in his mind through his perception ability.
.
"Is it a monkey ghost?" A soldier suddenly stood up and pulled out his sword, looking nervous. The others also stopped eating.
"How many are there?" Lu En asked with a focused gaze.
Cheng Lin smiled and said: "About one or two hundred."
One or two hundred...
Hearing this number, everyone present turned pale. They all knew how powerful this beast was. It was vicious and agile, and was very good at hiding its presence. It often surrounded its prey without any awareness.
They possess a kind of strange magic and often live in groups, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Even with the strength of their team, they cannot be underestimated.
Especially if it gets entangled, it can easily attract more beasts.
"Don't be impatient." Cheng Lin's gentle voice swept through the entire camp. The girl named Shirley said seriously, "That kind of thing is very difficult to deal with. We'd better..."
"Already here." Cheng Lin said.
So fast? Shirley was speechless and swallowed the word "evacuate". At this time, they had also heard the restlessness in the dark night, and they were indeed close.
"Get ready to fight!" Ian shouted sternly, but before his voice fell, Cheng Lin slowly raised his right hand, pointed into the darkness, and whispered one word, "Deprivation!"
In an instant, the "closed perception" power spread, and an invisible force spread in all directions. The next moment, those predators with sharp claws and ugly faces lurking in the darkness suddenly fell into turmoil.
Their vision, hearing, smell... almost all their senses disappeared, and they instantly fell into a "crash" state. Since their bodies were still running, they fell one after another due to inertia and rolled into a ball on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the soil around the camp broke open, and dark green vines covered with spikes twisted out.
Like countless tentacles, sinking into the darkness.
Rolling up those beasts that had completely lost their ability to fight, pricking the skin with sharp thorns, and immediately starting to suck blood - this was Cheng Lin's rediscovery of the "piranha" power after he was promoted to the seventh level.
Unfortunately, because these "ape ghosts" have lost their "sense of pain", they have no idea how to resist, and they don't even cry out.
This all happened very quickly.
One second, the darkness was filled with strange roars and running sounds. The next second, all sounds disappeared, leaving only the sound of dense vines sucking blood.
Creepy.
"this……"
In the team, the older woman named Shenlan opened her mouth, moved her hand, pulled out a wisp of flame from the burning fire, and threw it into the darkness to observe.
Then, when they saw the ape ghost that was mummified by the strange vines, they all took a breath of cold air, their scalps became numb, and their hands and feet felt cold.
Immediately, they both looked at the mysterious man sitting on the ground with a smile on his face, and the alertness in his eyes was replaced by deep fear.
"Well... just continue to eat, and leave the danger to me." Cheng Lin said with a smile, and then muttered in his heart:
Why do you seem so scared... Well, it seems that my powers are still a bit biased towards the villain style... He Jian's sword energy is much better...
Cheng Lin couldn't help but start to reflect.
"Many...thank you very much."
Faced with this scene, Shirley and the others didn't dare to say anything. They answered with sad faces, and then sat down again silently. However, their appetites were almost gone amidst the oozing sucking sounds all around them.
After finally forcing myself to fill my stomach, I packed up the stove and got ready to set off.
"So fast? Why don't you eat more?" Cheng Lin said thoughtfully.
"No need, let's hurry on." Shirley smiled stiffly and shook her head.
"Well," Cheng Lin seemed to have some regrets, then his eyes moved, as if he had received some news, and then he laughed unabashedly, "It's much faster than I expected. Okay, everyone, I'll do it now.
Let’s send you on your way.”
After saying that, he raised his right hand in a bad mood and opened a light door in front of the frightened team members. A huge "steel monster" walked away waving its twelve metal legs.
come out.
Immediately, Cheng Lin jumped into the driving seat of this Big Mac converted from an "eight-legged car" under the shocked eyes of Shirley and others, turned on the six dazzling lights, and said with a smile: "It's not early.
